UFC welterweight Sean Brady isn’t happy with the lack of Philadelphia-based fighters on the upcoming UFC 330 card.
At UFC 330 later this month, Islam Makhachev will defend his UFC welterweight championship against Ian Machado Garry in the main event. Someone who will be watching that fight closely is Sean Brady, who is coming off the back of a dominant win over Joaquin Buckley.

Brady is one of many UFC fighters to have fought out of the city of Philadelphia, but on the UFC 330 card, which goes down in Philly, there aren’t too many local guys and girls who will be featured.
In a recent interview, Brady gave his thoughts on that fact.
Brady discusses UFC 330 card
“I never got offered anything,” Brady told Home of Fight. “If you look at the division, I’m (No.) 5 on the Meta rankings and I’m 6 on the other ones. Me and (Gabriel) Bonfim are right next to each other, so I know there’s some talk of potentially me and him fighting at some point. But because he just fought Belal (Muhammad), it would have been even shorter notice for him to get on the Philly card. There really was no options and they didn’t offer me anything.
“I know a lot of the fans are disappointed, and I talked about it on my podcast because I get messages literally even right now, ‘Why are you not on the Philly card? Are you going to be on the Philly card?’ And at this point, it’s (12) days away. They’re not adding any fighters to it. I know my teammate Joe Pyfer was supposed to be on the card. Then Caio (Borralho) got hurt, so they got pulled off of that. We have Jeremiah (Wells) on it, and that’s literally it. It’s cool that you get two title fights, but the rest of the card is kind of underwhelming. … It’s just unfortunate that they didn’t get more local people on the card.”
